I can't check with my GC as I'm not s'posed to have it yet. But I don't see any reason why they shouldn't work. Might have to use a shim or something, but usually stuff that works in one, works in them all.

You will need the universal plate, its a bit thinner than the ones that come with the GC so it should go through OK, just remember not to force it, if it feels too thick to go through then stop and take it out!!

the one im on about is very thick compared to a spellbinder die or other THIN die......ive used cheery lyn ones that feel a little thicker BUT this is sort of 2 dies in one IYSWIM

What make is the die, iggy? I'm not sure which one you mean but I do have a variety so might have tried one.

righty ho....ive had a play & tried it with a good thickish paper & also some pearl stuff from CC......cant think of name as my problem leg is giving me sooooooo much grief i can hardly type.anyway it works with the CUTTING plate & the white one thats used for the embossing folders..think GR called it universal plate....so that works....NOW trouble is ive got a couple of memory box ones + spellbinders etc etc & now this has opened up yet another type to want after

Glad you got it to work. I've used pretty much every die in mine except the thick sizzix ones. If you have the white plate you can usually make up a sandwich that works with most of them.
